Shloka 166
Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
रामतीर्थ नर: स्नात्वा अश्वमेधफलं लभेत् । इसके बाद परशुरामसेवित महेन्द्रपर्वतपर जाकर वहाँके रामतीर्थमें स्नान करनेसे मनुष्यको अश्वमेधयज्ञका फल मिलता है
Rāmatīrthaṁ naraḥ snātvā aśvamedhaphalaṁ labhet.
プラースティヤは語った。「ラーマ・ティールタ（Rāma-tīrtha）で沐浴する者は、アシュヴァメーダ祭（Aśvamedha）の果に等しい功徳を得る。そののち、パラシュラーマ（Paraśurāma）が奉仕したマヘーンドラ山（Mahendra）へ赴き、そこにあるラーマ・ティールタで沐浴すれば、人はアシュヴァメーダの果報を得る。」
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Pilgrimage and ritual bathing at a sanctified tīrtha, when done as a dharmic act, can yield merit comparable to grand sacrifices, highlighting an accessible path to spiritual benefit through purity and reverence.
Pulastya is describing the fruits of visiting specific sacred sites; here he states that bathing at Rāma-tīrtha grants the fruit of an Aśvamedha, as part of a larger itinerary of tīrtha-yātrā and its rewards.
